Metastatic Cancers

Breast cancer, the most common cancer in women, is the cancer that most frequently spreads to the skin. A typical presentation is carcinoma en cuirasse, recurrent metastatic breast cancer that appears as nodules on the chest.

Any hard nodule on the body of an elderly person requires a biopsy. Cutaneous metastatic carcinoma may be the presenting sign of an underlying systemic neoplasm.
